Mindless Chatter Sunday night?

 Hey at least your trying!! Im sure your dogs wont complain about the 15 minute walks compared to other dogs going to the shelter because owners are "too" busy or a new baby is in the picture.

Poor Lillie is JEALOUS!! She has actually been in my face for attention. Now I havent been depriving her of attention since getting Joker. She just is a little put off I guess that he is getting as much attention that she gets. Plus he is using her crate since she doesnt need it anymore but to her it's still HERS.

But she plays really good with him and seems to like having him around.

 shoo what a day

US wins the Ryder Cup - great matches and just some stunning golf

NY Giants won in overtime woohoo

Last game ever played in Yankee stadium is on now

Bugsy is a PIA.  OK that's pretty normal these days.  We had our second class in the dog park - what was I thinking?   There were some dog park issues going on right next to the 'pen' we were working in B was totally tuned in to what was happening there.  He did one whole exercise perfectly but was watching these two dogs go at the whole time.  Was pretty funny - didn't know he could do so well while clearly not paying attention.  When we weren't working though he was just insanely difficult, my arms, hands, shoulders, back are killing me today.

DH got grumpy this afternoon and stayed like that - he really is moody these days

I didnt do some things I should've so tomorrow is going to be busy

night night all

aw, Bugsy. give mom a break!!!

I had a fun day! Drove to Lakeland to meet Callie, with three chihuahuas we pulled from an east coast shetler. It was pretty cool - my first 'real transport'! =]

That was really all I did today. Went out for ice cream this evening, and walked around by the marina. It is really nice out tonight, has been all day. I think I'll take the pups for a jog later... after I finish my work for that online class I keep putting off! ha.

I woke up crying and wondering what the heck I had done.  Uh....ya, don't even have Rotties... NTM my well known stand on BYBing.  But honestly, it took me a good 10 minutes to forgive myself after I woke up. 

Those dreams are called "taking out the trash" -- you're feeling guilty about the amount of time you spend so in your head in your dream you violate every principle of honesty and responsibility you know!!  Yep -- taking out the trash.  Don't stress it --

.... but when you figure out how to "post in a British accent" be sure to let Kate and Chuffy know, ok???? *grin* (running away swiftly)

Oh, and you mean you can't tell that Chuffy is British?  Kate is harder to tell, but Chuffy types like I imagine she talks.

It did kinda take up the whole day didn't it?? *grin*  Not to mention that David and I went hie-ing off to go find this restaurant I'd read about online that got GREAT reviews about their burgers -- drove 4 miles further towards Tampa than we were supposed to only to find out it's not in existence anymore AND ... er ... well ...from the look of it the last time they served burgers was in ... 1967??? grrrr

But heck -- got to meet Erica and David and I had some time together!  Nuthin wrong with that!!

 Wahoo!!! I'm most active user!  Yay me! 

After spending a little over a week in the Houston area, I am home!  I am so happy to be home.  I didn't realize that I would miss DH as much as I did.  We were only apart for five days, but it was a miserable five days.  I know that he missed me as well.  He's been even sweeter than normal, which, was previously, very difficult to imagine. 

This morning, I got breakfast in bed.  When we finally got out of bed, we took the dogs to the farmer's market.  We bought a ton of fresh fruits & veggies for the week.  Hopefully, we will be motivated to cook this week.

When we finished shopping, we dropped the dogs, & food off at the house, & went to play a round of golf.  DH has just started playing, & that always makes for an entertaining  time.  Today, he couldn't get on, or even close to the fairway.  During this time, I realized how different we are.  He was still calm, & cool even though he had lost a ton of balls.  I would have been furious after missing the fairway the first time, let alone repeatedly.

I really don't want to go back to work tomorrow.

 I've never golfed before.  I really want to though.  My dad is a pretty good golfer.  He's one of those guys that started golfing when he retired from hockey and everyone always says he missed his calling.  Darn it anyway, there's money in pro golf!  LOL

My son is a pretty decent golfer.  He has his own clubs, a pretty nice set too.  Maybe next year he'll actually get on the course.  Right now he spends his time in the driving range.  

When he was little my dad took him on the course with him one day.  They were playing with a guy that had no golf etiquette.  He was loud and obnoxious and just generally annoying.  He laughed anytime someone missed a shot and he wasn't that good himself.  But at one point he missed the ball off the tee twice and Kale, who was I think 3 at the time, sympathetically pushed him out of the way.  "No no!  Not like that, here let me show you,  feet apart, eye on the ball..."  The guy was mortified.  The other guys just about fell over laughing.  

The next time Kale went with my dad, he went to play on the rental carts and drove one right through a fence and into a bunker...oopsie, who left that one on?

Oh dear ... remember my husband is a Scot -- and HE would tell you he doesn't *have* an accent YOU do.  So, of course Chuffy and Kate don't type with accents.  All English folks who speak properly type as they do ... right ladies?

Now the really scarey part is that if Chuffy and Kate were actually sitting together they could tell easily "where" each was from by how they pronounced certain words even tho to one of us Yanks, t'would sound alike.  Sorta like I could tell you Michiganders from the Texans ... and then there's me (all mixed up 'cos I'm originally from western NY rural area transplanted to FL).  Altho the geographic size of England is smaller, as is Scotland, the 'accents' from the various parts of the countries are quite different and distinct.

Just more of the joke, is all.  (and p.s. -- David always says that Mike Myers and Johnny Depp are the *only* two Americans who really can do a decent Scottish brogue, and David ... being a Scot ... would definitely think Chuffy and Kate would have "English accents";).  Just imagine all of us in a room at the same time LOL.

I have to laugh reading this. A number of years ago I went to work for a farm near Toronto. Met a ton of great people. We went out to dinner one night shortly after I arrived, my friends asked me if I was "from the States, you have an accent." My reply was "that's funny...I never had one before!" 

A day late for posting Sunday. Anyway, Sunday was DW's birthday. She got a call from her daughter. We were going to fly them from the Pacific Northwest down to Houston next month for a family reunion but she can't make it as her sister-in-law is coming down from Alaska that weekend. Found out the latest cute stuff our granddaughter is doing.

DW wanted a camera case made out of fireman's hose canvas that was in the catalog from Duluth Trading Co. And a set of earrings from the Pyramid Collection. So, she got those. She makes it really easy on me. Pages folded, item circled.

And we had dinner at Red Lobster. The one in Sherman, Tx. is an excellent restaraunt. She had Mahi Mahi New Orleans and I had Atlantic Salmon roasted in a bag. I order the full order and that just about did me in. We went to Belk's where they had advertised pants with a natural waistline fit. DW has an hourglass figure (36C - 28 - 34 hubba hubba!) and some of the newer styles of pants ride to low for her sense of fashion. But then, she's always attracted stares.

Funny, true story. In 1996, through a friend at the Dallas Morning News, we received a press kit to see Ted Nugent at what was then called the Coca-Cola Starplex Amphitheater. Plenty of women running around in shorts and tight t-shirts. DW wore jeans and a plain, white blouse with a black vest. And had the undivided attention of one of the roadies setting up the stage for the warm-up band. At least until I got back from an errand and sat down next to her. He was talking to another roadie and finally spotted her again and then saw me sitting next to her and he actually flinched. We weren't that far away. 13th row, center stage.

Got calls from her parents in south Texas. Her brother and his family near Baton Rouge, La.

So, for her, it was the perfect birthday.
